Alphabet Sorting

I drew a grid on a piece of calico and wrote the the letters of the alphabet in every square (you could use paper, card or any material). I then used anything from nature that I could write the alphabet on. Once you start looking your realise that there are loads of resources right at your fingertips. All of these nuts and leaves were found on the ground at the park across the road from my house. Don't you just love a resource that costs nothing! The gum nuts have been used before on the blog "Bringing Nature Inside".

I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and are ready to make 2017 a sensational year!!! I have just returned from a beautiful family holiday feeling refreshed, positive and motivated for the year ahead. In 2016, I started several projects that I'm ready to get stuck into and launch this year - exciting times!!!

I also spent quite a bit of time on Instagram and learnt so much from fellow instagramers. I have found a wonderful Early Childhood community on Instagram that have been very supportive and encouraging. This week I thought I would share some of my favourite pics from my Instagram feed from 2016.

This is a photo of a new product I launched in 2016. Story Stones

I loved these recycled plant holders that I made with my class for a STEM trial group.

I just love the simplicity of this activity. Recycled laundry scoops, sieves and Pom poms in water.

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog!

An Idea on Tuesday was born as I am an Early Childhood Teacher and my working week starts on Tuesday.

I am passionate about teaching and don't like repeating activities so I am constantly looking for new ideas which I often try out first with my three beautiful children. All of these ideas can be adapted for various ages and for use in the classroom or at home.

In my spare time I love decorating my home and entertaining. I would love to share some of these ideas with you as well.
